Is this a bad spot to pick?I was only checking to improve my knowledge and I didn't mind the shove too much based on my read but now this just adds more knowledge to my game
BTW I did hit my 7 to win the hand and ended up taking a 4th in the tournamentPosted in: Poker Advice

are pocket eights even playable?I don't think you can even look at Pre/Post Ante since most STT don't ever include Antes before it is over, Correct me if I am wrong.
I would have to look at the table and how ppl are playing but I lean towards a shovePosted in: Poker Advice

Going over HH HelpI am hoping Someone can help me my big question is how you look at you HH and get better from it recently I have felt I have had the worst of variance possible going on 2 months now with no real note worthy success. I try to look at HH a couple days later that way I have a clearer head but when I look at it again and find some of the big hands that I get involved in I just want to smash something in frustration. This is caused by built up run bad and the fact that it is a god awful beat. I have gotten to the point where I see AA or KK and am like FML I should just fold.

AQs UTG $2 MTT.I don't like this play since you have 60 BB and the hand that are shown seem very loose but I def am putting them on lots of bigger hands than 99 after a cold 4 bet. I would like to know where you get your card peek software to think you are flipping here that oftenPosted in: Poker Advice

How many $3.25 NL [Turbo 6max] SnG can you win in a row?I don't know the payout for these but +volume any type +ROI sounds good to me you don't always have to win but yes it would be nice and make life easier, but you could play 3 hours on a few tables that you win where there will be some sick volume bot that makes more thanh you simple cause they handle volume betterPosted in: Poker Advice

1.5 mill on Full TiltDoes anyone think they will deal just because of the fact that it will most likely drag out for a while since they all have between 40-50 BB
I personally think that someone like Steprightup is the only one interested in a quick end thoughPosted in: Poker Advice

Position strategy/thinkingThe fact that you think X folds equates to strong hands coming is bad thought process IMO cause I have no problem folding a rag K Q or J UTG thus meaning that I have taken one of these cards out of the deck essentially so I don't think your thought process is valid at all cause you don't know if I fold K4 or 72 you can only narrow ranges for those that give information. This is you playing position can be profitable since the players to act before you post flop have to narrow your range a little blind unless they lead out every flop OOP to try and gain information. I play according to table ...Posted in: Poker Advice

Iso or Fold?I am folding since even if it only him I am against I am flipping most times and the fact that there is 7 after you to act I am sure you will be finding a better spot plus you are deep enough that there is no desperation call neededPosted in: Poker Advice

Bounty Situation MET ***FTPDOUG*** helpI was just having crazy thoughts going through my head. So, Just wanted to know if anyone else knew. It should be aware to all of you that FTP is serious about this MET thing. So, what would happen if I ran like a God and got myself into a position to merge in a Bounty tourny. Would I get my bounty since I am essentially taking myself out' I am not planning to play the Brawl but I am sure that some of the regs will be and since you will be able to reg multiple times which even with a bitch and groan most of you will, but what happens if from out of nowhere this happens' I tried looking on FTP ...Posted in: Poker Advice

Official Bankroll Management ThreadMy biggest/best strategy is being honest with myself so that I force myself to stay in the proper game BRwise. and also learn self control so you don't start going to the higher buyins to begin with.
I am currently a BR nit and am trying to play with 200 Buyin BRM systemPosted in: Poker Advice

Your Dream SiteI was just wondering what everyone looks for when it comes to a poker site. I have been think about this more and more as I see the forum get flooded with rant posts about many things like the new MET.
So lay it out there guys and maybe a site will listen.
Somethings that come to mind are:
-lower rake
-good customer support
-quick easy money transactions
-large variety of games
also is there a preferred table display you would have'Posted in: Poker Advice

Your uncle has to understand that a tournament is nothing like a cash game in the sense that once your stack is gone you can't just rebuy like in a cash game. There has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. Unluckily you got the latter but it is an easy shove. The only place that I may take a min cash by choice and fold AK is in something like the WSOP ME.

Adapting to tables in tourneysI have not really thought about this too hard since I am only playing micros so the thought process is very ABC, but I would say if you get switched play your game while assessing the situation. I know that in a turbo format your not really ever that deep so you need to continue to play your position and bring in small pots to keep above water but it def depends on the situation since if you come with a half decent stack I would say abuse the table for a bit if you can since you will be regarded to as an unknown at the tables and you are under the radar o and make sure to take notes it will ...Posted in: Poker Advice
